Looking for Henry Hoskin of New Plymouth, New Zealand

Henry HOSKIN, carpenter, was born sometime in 1846 - married Karoline JENSEN on 28 October 1878 in New Plymouth - died 16 February 1928 in New Plymouth.
I am hoping to discover his parents and siblings.

Thanks for your response. Have you any details on William Fry Hoskin and his brothers or sisters? The Henry William Hoskin in this list is born 4 years too early. However, you have given me 10 more Hoskin people from Taranaki that I never knew about.
Cheers and appreciated

If you have a look at the HOSKIN Family Genealogy Forum there's a one year old topic entered for someone looking for Hoskin (Hoskyn) of New Plymouth and Taranki. I suggest you write to them via email. You may have to register as a new user of the site first if you wish your posted response to be seen, or you can click on their underlined posted name to lookup their email address, then write this email address into your email software program. Hope you know what I mean.

Hi rsj,
You may want to change the marriage date of Henry & Caroline to 28th October 1878
They had one adopted son named William Fry Hoskin.
He was a Farmer in Bell Block, Taranaki. He died aged 56 and is buried at St Lukes Burial Ground

This William Fry HOSKIN was a son of Arthur Hoskin (1810-1864) of Holsworthy, Devonshire, England who died in Bell Block, Taranaki and Eliza FRY (1810-1863) from Stratton, Cornwall, England who died in Bell Block, Taranaki

Therefore my previous posting of the adopted son William Fry Hoskin may be incorrect. They did have an adopted son William Hoskin who I may have confused with William Fry ...

Thanks a million Ngaire - yes I did a typo in the date which was as you say and the adopted son definitely is my Grandad - no wonder he never drank or mentioned his father.
You have solved this part of the puzzle and I am grateful.
